The properties that matter for tour and adventure operators

Type: TravelAgency. Every property below is a real schema.org property.

Key schema properties for tour and adventure operators
PropertyWhy it matters
knowsAboutDestinations and tour styles are how travellers search. Naming them helps AI tools recommend your trips.
knowsLanguageGuided tours in a traveller’s own language are a strong reason to book. Say which ones you offer.
areaServedName where you pick up and where you go, like Calgary, Banff and Canmore.
currenciesAcceptedInternational visitors want to know what currency they will pay in.
sameAsLink your Tripadvisor and social profiles so your identity is connected.

Common mistakes

  • Marking up each scheduled departure in the business markup. Specific tours can be described on their own pages.

  • Listing a pickup hotel as your business address. Use your own office address, or leave the street out.

  • Adding Tripadvisor ratings as aggregateRating. Ratings copied from another site shouldn’t go in your own markup.

How to add it to your site

  1. Replace every example value in the form with your own details. They should match your Google Business Profile exactly.
  2. Copy the code and paste it into your page’s <head>. Most site builders have a custom code field. On a hand-built site, it goes in the template.
  3. Test the live page with Google’s Rich Results Test and validator.schema.org, and fix anything they flag.
  4. Add the same facts to the visible page. Structured data should describe what visitors can see. My website checklist for tour and adventure operators covers the rest.
FAQ

Schema for tour and adventure operators: questions

  1. There isn’t a dedicated tour operator type, so TravelAgency is the nearest fit. Some operators also mark up individual tours as TouristTrip on tour pages.

  2. It can. TouristTrip is a schema.org type for a trip. Start with the business markup, then add tour pages with clear details.

  3. Use priceRange for a general sense. Exact prices belong on each tour page, where they can be kept up to date.
